哥林多前書 14

你們要追求愛，也要切慕屬靈的恩賜，其中更要羨慕的，是作先知講道 。

nǐ men yào zhuī qiú ài ， yě yào qiè mù shǔ líng de ēn cì ， qí zhōng gèng yào xiàn mù de ， shì zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào 。

Follow after love and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

那說方言的，原不是對人說，乃是對上帝說，因為沒有人聽出來。然而，他在心靈裏卻是講說各樣的奧祕。

nà shuō fāng yán de ， yuán bú shì duì rén shuō ， nǎi shì duì shén shuō ， yīn wèi méi yǒu rén tīng chū lái 。 rán ér ， tā zài xīn líng lǐ què shì jiǎng shuō gè yàng de ào mì 。

For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God, for no one understands, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

但作先知講道的，是對人說，要造就、安慰、勸勉人。

dàn zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào de ， shì duì rén shuō ， yào zào jiù 、 ān wèi 、 quàn miǎn rén 。

But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

說方言的，是造就自己；作先知講道的，乃是造就教會。

shuō fāng yán de ， shì zào jiù zì jǐ ； zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào de ， nǎi shì zào jiù jiào huì 。

He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

我願意你們都說方言，更願意你們作先知講道；因為說方言的，若不翻出來，使教會被造就，那作先知講道的，就比他強了。

wǒ yuàn yì nǐ men dōu shuō fāng yán ， gèng yuàn yì nǐ men zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào ； yīn wèi shuō fāng yán de ， ruò bù fān chū lái ， shǐ jiào huì bèi zào jiù ， nà zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào de ， jiù bǐ tā qiáng le 。

Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but even more that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

弟兄們，我到你們那裏去，若只說方言，不用啟示，或知識，或預言，或教訓，給你們講解，我與你們有甚麼益處呢？

dì xiong men ， wǒ dào nǐ men nà lǐ qù ， ruò zhī shuō fāng yán ， bú yòng qǐ shì ， huò zhī shi ， huò yù yán ， huò jiào xùn ， gěi nǐ men jiǎng jiě ， wǒ yǔ nǐ men yǒu shén me yì chù ne ？

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

就是那有聲無氣的物，或簫，或琴，若發出來的聲音沒有分別，怎能知道所吹所彈的是甚麼呢？

jiù shì nà yǒu shēng wú qì de wù ， huò xiāo ， huò qín ， ruò fā chū lái de shēng yīn méi yǒu fēn bié ， zěn néng zhī dào suǒ chuī suǒ tán de shì shén me ne ？

Even lifeless things that make a sound, whether pipe or harp, if they didn’t give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

若吹無定的號聲，誰能預備打仗呢？

ruò chuī wú dìng de hào shēng ， shuí néng yù bèi dǎ zhàng ne ？

For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

你們也是如此。舌頭若不說容易明白的話，怎能知道所說的是甚麼呢？這就是向空說話了。

nǐ men yě shì rú cǐ 。 shé tou ruò bù shuō róng yì míng bái de huà ， zěn néng zhī dào suǒ shuō de shì shén me ne ？ zhè jiù shì xiàng kōng shuō huà le 。

So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

世上的聲音，或者甚多，卻沒有一樣是無意思的。

shì shàng de shēng yīn ， huò zhě shèn duō ， què méi yǒu yí yàng shì wú yì sī de 。

There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

我若不明白那聲音的意思，這說話的人必以我為化外之人，我也以他為化外之人。

wǒ ruò bù míng bái nà shēng yīn de yì sī ， zhè shuō huà de rén bì yǐ wǒ wèi huà wài zhī rén ， wǒ yě yǐ tā wèi huà wài zhī rén 。

If then I don’t know the meaning of the language, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

你們也是如此，既是切慕屬靈的恩賜，就當求多得造就教會的恩賜。

nǐ men yě shì rú cǐ ， jì shì qiè mù shǔ líng de ēn cì ， jiù dāng qiú duō dé zào jiù jiào huì de ēn cì 。

So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

所以那說方言的，就當求着能翻出來。

suǒ yǐ nà shuō fāng yán de ， jiù dāng qiú zhe néng fān chū lái 。

Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

我若用方言禱告，是我的靈禱告，但我的悟性沒有果效。

wǒ ruò yòng fāng yán dǎo gào ， shì wǒ de líng dǎo gào ， dàn wǒ de wù xìng méi yǒu guǒ xiào 。

For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

這卻怎麼樣呢？我要用靈禱告，也要用悟性禱告；我要用靈歌唱，也要用悟性歌唱。

zhè què zěn me yàng ne ？ wǒ yào yòng líng dǎo gào ， yě yào yòng wù xìng dǎo gào ； wǒ yào yòng líng gē chàng ， yě yào yòng wù xìng gē chàng 。

What should I do? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

不然，你用靈祝謝，那在座不通方言的人，既然不明白你的話，怎能在你感謝的時候說「阿們」呢？

bù rán ， nǐ yòng líng zhù xiè ， nà zài zuò bù tōng fāng yán de rén ， jì rán bù míng bái nǐ de huà ， zěn néng zài nǐ gǎn xiè de shí hòu shuō 「 ā men 」 ne ？

Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the “Amen” at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn’t know what you say?

你感謝的固然是好，無奈不能造就別人。

nǐ gǎn xiè de gù rán shì hǎo ， wú nài bù néng zào jiù bié rén 。

For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

我感謝上帝，我說方言比你們眾人還多。

wǒ gǎn xiè shén ， wǒ shuō fāng yán bǐ nǐ men zhòng rén hái duō 。

I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

但在教會中，寧可用悟性說五句教導人的話，強如說萬句方言。

dàn zài jiào huì zhōng ， nìng kě yòng wù xìng shuō wǔ jù jiào dǎo rén de huà ， qiáng rú shuō wàn jù fāng yán 。

However, in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

弟兄們，在心志上不要作小孩子。然而，在惡事上要作嬰孩，在心志上總要作大人。

dì xiong men ， zài xīn zhì shàng bú yào zuò xiǎo hái zǐ 。 rán ér ， zài è shì shàng yào zuò yīng hái ， zài xīn zhì shàng zǒng yào zuò dà rén 。

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

律法上記着： 主說：我要用外邦人的舌頭 和外邦人的嘴唇向這百姓說話； 雖然如此， 他們還是不聽從我。

lǜ fǎ shàng jì zhe ： zhǔ shuō ： wǒ yào yòng wài bāng rén de shé tou hé wài bāng rén de zuǐ chún xiàng zhè bǎi xìng shuō huà ； suī rán rú cǐ ， tā men hái shì bù tīng cóng wǒ 。

In the law it is written, “By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. They won’t even listen to me that way, says the Lord.”

這樣看來，說方言不是為信的人作證據，乃是為不信的人；作先知講道不是為不信的人作證據，乃是為信的人。

zhè yàng kàn lái ， shuō fāng yán bú shì wèi xìn de rén zuò zhèng jù ， nǎi shì wèi bú xìn de rén ； zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào bú shì wèi bú xìn de rén zuò zhèng jù ， nǎi shì wèi xìn de rén 。

Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

所以，全教會聚在一處的時候，若都說方言，偶然有不通方言的，或是不信的人進來，豈不說你們癲狂了嗎？

suǒ yǐ ， quán jiào huì jù zài yí chù de shí hòu ， ruò dōu shuō fāng yán ， ǒu rán yǒu bù tōng fāng yán de ， huò shì bú xìn de rén jìn lái ， qǐ bù shuō nǐ men diān kuáng le ma ？

If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won’t they say that you are crazy?

若都作先知講道，偶然有不信的，或是不通方言的人進來，就被眾人勸醒，被眾人審明，

ruò dōu zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào ， ǒu rán yǒu bú xìn de ， huò shì bù tōng fāng yán de rén jìn lái ， jiù bèi zhòng rén quàn xǐng ， bèi zhòng rén shěn míng ，

But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

他心裏的隱情顯露出來，就必將臉伏地，敬拜上帝，說：「上帝真是在你們中間了。」

tā xīn lǐ de yǐn qíng xiǎn lù chū lái ， jiù bì jiāng liǎn fú dì ， jìng bài shén ， shuō ：「 shén zhēn shì zài nǐ men zhōng jiān le 。」

And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

弟兄們，這卻怎麼樣呢？你們聚會的時候，各人或有詩歌，或有教訓，或有啟示，或有方言，或有翻出來的話，凡事都當造就人。

dì xiong men ， zhè què zěn me yàng ne ？ nǐ men jù huì de shí hòu ， gè rén huò yǒu shī gē ， huò yǒu jiào xùn ， huò yǒu qǐ shì ， huò yǒu fāng yán ， huò yǒu fān chū lái de huà ， fán shì dōu dāng zào jiù rén 。

What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, or has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

若有說方言的，只好兩個人，至多三個人，且要輪流着說，也要一個人翻出來。

ruò yǒu shuō fāng yán de ， zhǐ hǎo liǎng gè rén ， zhì duō sān gè rén ， qiě yào lún liú zhe shuō ， yě yào yí gè rén fān chū lái 。

If any man speaks in another language, let there be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

若沒有人翻，就當在會中閉口，只對自己和上帝說就是了。

ruò méi yǒu rén fān ， jiù dāng zài huì zhōng bì kǒu ， zhī duì zì jǐ hé shén shuō jiù shì le 。

But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself and to God.

至於作先知講道的，只好兩個人或是三個人，其餘的就當慎思明辨。

zhì yú zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào de ， zhǐ hǎo liǎng gè rén huò shì sān gè rén ， qí yú de jiù dāng shèn sī míng biàn 。

Let two or three of the prophets speak, and let the others discern.

若旁邊坐着的得了啟示，那先說話的就當閉口不言。

ruò páng biān zuò zhe de dé le qǐ shì ， nà xiān shuō huà de jiù dāng bì kǒu bù yán 。

But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

因為你們都可以一個一個地作先知講道，叫眾人學道理，叫眾人得勸勉。

yīn wèi nǐ men dōu kě yǐ yí gè yi gè dì zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào ， jiào zhòng rén xué dào lǐ ， jiào zhòng rén dé quàn miǎn 。

For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted.

先知的靈原是順服先知的；

xiān zhī de líng yuán shì shùn fú xiān zhī de ；

The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

因為上帝不是叫人混亂，乃是叫人安靜。

yīn wèi shén bú shì jiào rén hùn luàn ， nǎi shì jiào rén ān jìng 。

for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

婦女在會中要閉口不言，像在聖徒的眾教會一樣，因為不准她們說話。她們總要順服，正如律法所說的。

fù nǚ zài huì zhōng yào bì kǒu bù yán ， xiàng zài shèng tú de zhòng jiào huì yí yàng ， yīn wèi bù zhǔn tā men shuō huà 。 tā men zǒng yào shùn fú ， zhèng rú lǜ fǎ suǒ shuō de 。

Let the wives be quiet in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to be talking except in submission, as the law also says,

她們若要學甚麼，可以在家裏問自己的丈夫，因為婦女在會中說話原是可恥的。

tā men ruò yào xué shén me ， kě yǐ zài jiā lǐ wèn zì jǐ de zhàng fu ， yīn wèi fù nǚ zài huì zhōng shuō huà yuán shì kě chǐ de 。

if they desire to learn anything. “Let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a wife to be talking in the assembly.”

上帝的道理豈是從你們出來嗎？豈是單臨到你們嗎？

shén de dào lǐ qǐ shì cóng nǐ men chū lái ma ？ qǐ shì dān lín dào nǐ men ma ？

What!? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

若有人以為自己是先知，或是屬靈的，就該知道，我所寫給你們的是主的命令。

ruò yǒu rén yǐ wéi zì jǐ shì xiān zhī ， huò shì shǔ líng de ， jiù gāi zhī dào ， wǒ suǒ xiě gěi nǐ men de shì zhǔ de mìng lìng 。

If any man thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

若有不知道的，就由他不知道吧！

ruò yǒu bù zhī dào de ， jiù yóu tā bù zhī dào ba ！

But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

所以我弟兄們，你們要切慕作先知講道，也不要禁止說方言。

suǒ yǐ wǒ dì xiong men ， nǐ men yào qiè mù zuò xiān zhī jiǎng dào ， yě bú yào jìn zhǐ shuō fāng yán 。

Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don’t forbid speaking with other languages.

凡事都要規規矩矩地按着次序行。

fán shì dōu yào guī guī jǔ jǔ dì àn zhe cì xù xíng 。

Let all things be done decently and in order.
